The Height of Feminism

Today is Women's Day and seems perfect to write something in support of the feminine. This goes out to all the ladies, hope you have a good laugh :)
Before that a DISCLAIMER:  to everyone reading this article - Somethings might sound familiar because you might have read or heard it somewhere. So have I, but they all came together wonderfully in my mind I just had to put it out here :)

I was talking with one my girlfriends and we happened to stumble upon the topic of marriage, love, commitment, luck etc.  We spoke about how lucky some people are while there are other still looking for love..Right or wrong places they just don't find it.  All the good men seem to be married, committed, gay or just hidden away from us. We have almost given up the idea of finding the 'One'. Wonder what corner of the world he is.. oh wait.. the world is round! Darn it!

So.. we decided we might just skip the part of having a relationship and move on to the next level - Adoption.  She said "Its a woman's world now, no longer a mans world.  The remaining males are just suckers and we need to get rid of them too. We need to keep a few though, rear them and use the sperms to 'produce' as many kids as possible for adoption and then make the New Generation" (felt like I read this somewhere) I felt as though I was co-plotting to rid the world of all the manpower just by being a part of this conversation and it was starting to worry me a bit. She realised I was lost in thought, then she said something really funny "Stop worrying about men, it's woman's day. Concentrate on the superior being here!" Girl did she crack me up. She ended her plan with the phrase - The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.

She could be very well right about us being the superior beings.  After all God created Adam before Eve because the rough draft had to be prepared before the masterpiece.  More power to women :)

A note for Men: If you read the above, please don't take it to heart its not until a couple 100 years till The Plan will be actioned.

On Marriage...

Quiet a few friends tied the knot last year and some are engaged to be married this year. There were so many people updating their status on Facebook from Single/engaged to engaged /married.  There were such updates everyday and it seemed like a wedding sale!

When were little we knew that when we grow up we would meet that someone special and get married but we didn't know why we would do it? It was just one of those grown up things to do - Get a job, buy a house, pay the bills, get married, be responsible, buy a car, etc. I remember when I learnt to write, writing my name was not the most fun thing to do - Nivedita Gopinathan was a long name for a beginner.  I wondered when I would grow up get married and change my last name.  That was the reason then.  Some years later when I learnt to wear a saree I thought I'd marry someone just so I could dress up in a saree everyday.

As we grow up we get to know about love. Its not about 'Marriage', its about Love and finding that someone who we feel makes us feel complete.  Love and marriage are two different things, Marriage does not come with a guarantee and it is a gamble but we can hope to have made the right decision by trusting our heart.  We always like to think that we would end up with Mr./ Miss Perfect but the truth be told - Mr./ Miss Perfect is an illusion like the fairy tales but good news is there is a Mr./ Miss Right who is going to be perfect.  They don't simply say love is blind for nothing.  When you truly love someone that person seems perfect and flawless.

Tom Mullen said - Successful marriage depends on two things: (1) finding the right person and (2) being the right person.
